Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not attend the hearing or defend the claim issued on 11 October 2022. The tribunal refused to postpone the hearing, refused an extension of time to defend, and determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2013.
The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages by failing to pay her August 2022 wages and by deducting £375 from July 2022 wages where that deduction was authorised only for an employee pension contribution and was not allocated for that purpose. The respondent was ordered to pay £7,500 and £375 for those deductions.
The tribunal also found that the respondent was in breach of contract by terminating the claimant's employment without notice and awarded £7,500 damages. The claimant's holiday pay claim succeeded, with £7,165.38 awarded as the gross sum due.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
